Hindus are not intolerance-free either. In several parts of India, first and second generation Christian converts are urged, sometime with weapons or force to turn back to Hinduism. And technically Buddha was born in Nepal, not India proper.

@smartwarlord Correction - some people whose religion is Hinduism are forcing people. Don't be so quick to blame the religion for the acts of their followers.

U know what some christians are doing? Once a young man or woman is converted, they urge them to go tell their mother/father that they are going to hell! In Hinduism parents are revered like Gods, imagine this sicko religious people coming in & encouraging this sort of behaviour. Wanna blame christianity for this?

@ramaraksha01

Given the size and scope of Hinduism - as a transtheistic religion - it is difficult to distinguish between a Hindu and the religion proper, since there is no Orthodoxy in Hinduism, and no Heretics or Infidels within Hinduism. So I apologize if you thought I implied all Hindus were this way.

As for Christianity - especially minority Christianity (in most of Asia), it is the fault of the religion itself in that scenario. as the religion itself teaches people non-Christians burn.

@smartwarlord I don't know if i am ready to blame a religion for the acts of its followers. Does the Bible say that non-christians go to hell? if it does, then yes let's blame the religion.

But there is another way I do blame the religion - Abrahamic religions are monotheistic King religions. They view God more as a King. This is no democracy, the king's word is law! U have to be a loyal follower or else there is no place for u in his kingdom. It is not a coincidence that western & muslim lands

@smartwarlord gave rise to just one indegenous religion each. When christianity & islam came into being, their world was full of polytheistic religions. Polytheistic religions are democratic in nature - we have our way to God, if ur way is different, good for u. But unfortunately these polytheistic religions did not realize the snake in their midst & they paid for it. As islam & christianity got stronger, they killed off the polytheistic religions which allowed them to grow in the 1st place

@smartwarlord Hinduism i would say is a mono-polytheistic faith. We have diff Gods but they are one & the same. Rama is Krishna is Durga is Jesus is Allah is Buddha. This democratic, live & let live, vision gave encouragement to multiple religions like Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Bohra Islam & such. If the Buddha had been born in western or muslim lands he would have been branded a heretic & tortured to death! There would be no Buddhism today!
